Russian territory moved 4cm because of the Japanese earthquake

Recent studies have determined that the Far East in Russia was displaced by 4cm due to earthquakes in Japan last year.

The Japanese earthquake caused 4cm of the eastern coast of Russia to move.

Scientists have concluded that a devastating earthquake in Japan in March 2011 (accompanied by intense tsunamis and a nuclear disaster at Fukushima nuclear power plant) is not without consequences for neighboring countries, first of all with Russia.

There are strong shocks affecting the Earth's crust in Russia's southern coastal region, toward the epicenter of this earthquake, according to the Far Eastern Hederative University (FEFU) of Russia. .

The chairman of the Department of Seismology, Earthquake and Measurement, Nikolai Sestakov, along with colleagues of FEFU, Far East Sub-institute of Russia and foreign universities, have conducted research and modeling of movements and variables. The form of the crust of East Asia and Russia's Far East is caused by the largest earthquake of the century. They have made big discoveries to be able to more accurately predict the earthquake situation in this large area in the future.

Scientists say the earthquake impacts in Japan pushed the Far East's southern coast by 4 centimeters and Blagovesensk 8 millimeters.
